<strong>ISRAEL'S 'FUTILE GESTURES' <br />
<br />
By Charles Bybelezer </strong><br />
September 6, 2012 -Daily Mailer, FrontPage <br />
<br />
Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to extend well-wishes on the occasion of Id al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan.<br />
He did so despite the fact that Abbas continues to shun negotiations with the Jewish state and again has threatened to pursue a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly in September.<br />
<br />
Netanyahus goodwill gesture reportedly was followed by similar phone calls to Abbas by Israeli envoy Yitzhak Molcho and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Molcho also called PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayyad.<br />
The calls came on the heels of other goodwill gestures made by Israel over the last few months aimed at coaxing the Palestinians back to the negotiating table; including, but not limited to:<br />
<br />
1. The issuance of thousands of additional Israeli work permits to Palestinian laborers;<br />
2. The advance to the PA on the eve of Ramadan of approximately NIS 200 million in levies collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinians so that government salaries could be paid;<br />
3. The signing of an economic accord with the PA in order to enhance trade;<br />
4. The signing of a deal to end a hunger strike by Palestinians jailed in Israel, in which Israel even agreed to allow convicted terrorists to pursue academic studies;<br />
5. The tabling of an offer, confirmed by PA Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Qaraqe, to release in four stages 125 Palestinian security prisoners, many of whom were convicted of murdering Israelis (the proposal was summarily rejected by Abbas, who demanded the prisoners be released simultaneously);<br />
6. The transfer to the PA of the bodies of approximately 90 deceased terrorists, whose remains subsequently were glorified en masse in official ceremonies.<br />

<i>You are standing today, all of you (all generations) before Hashem, your G-d, from the heads of your tribes, your elders your children from the (highest) in society to the drawer of your water, for you to pass into the covenant Hashem, your G-d in order to establish you today as a people to Him and that He will be a G-d to you I call on heaven and earth today to bear witness against you. I have placed life and death before you, a blessing and a curse, you shall choose life so that you will live to dwell on the land that I swore to your forefathers (to your fathers and grandfathers) and to Abraham, Isaac and to Jacob. (Deut. 29-30) </i><br />
<br />
Looking at the world today I think back to the words of Charles Dickens, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us  When I first read those words in high school, I believed that they were far removed from the rest of my life. America was in a simpler place. My only serious question was why wouldnt Sandy Koufax pitch the first game of the World Series after all was Yom Kippur really that big a deal and it wasnt like he wore a kippah and kept kosher. It was a time when questions hadnt been asked yet and didnt need to be answered. Today has caught up with yesterday. <br />
<br />
For me, years before my Bar Mitzvah, I remember the words on our Day of Atonement. Words when secular Jewish friends of mine only came to synagogue one day a year  would show up on Yom Kippur to hear who will live and who will die  The profundity of that one line and its finite reality, its focus, its simple yet unambiguous statement is a statement that few Jews can turn away from or forget. The gift we have been given is the gift of time  money comes, money goes, our days are moments as part of an eternity that we are only blessed to know for a very short time. <br />

"The Arabs do indeed believe in a policy of decisive defeat<br />
of Israel. What is more, unlike Israel, the Arabs have the<br />
manpower and the religious ideology to weather the war<br />
of attrition that Boobi acquiesces in...."<br />
<br />
At every stage of the conflict -- except for times before election --<br />
Boobi Netanyahu has shown in his important acts that he is a true<br />
believer in the Arabs as partners to Israel's ultimate peace.<br />
<br />
Note that before every election Israelis heard Boobi's silver tongue<br />
going on record as backing uncompromising, hard line programs<br />
to beat back the designs of the Arab enemy. Yet, when in office, he<br />
consistently betrayed these right wing preferments.<br />

<b>800 POUND GORILLA IN THE ROOM<br />

<br />
"Unless Israel's people and government wake up immediately<br />
to the Arab knife being brought ever closer to the Israeli<br />
throat and develop effective tactics for Israel's survival<br />
... through bringing the Arab war deep into enemy strongholds<br />
and denying him the means and the strategic position to<br />
defeat Israel, the dangerous possibilities of Israeli defeat<br />
forever linger. But the needed Israeli action can only be<br />
undertaken when Israel wakes up to the implacable nature of<br />
the enemy, ..."<br />
<br />
<br />
What supporter of Israel can have confidence in the Jewish State if<br />
up to this date the country refuses to recognize the reality of the<br />
800 pound gorilla in the room, that the Arab goal is to destroy<br />
Israel?<br />
<br />
In that context, it is evident that the Arab enemy uses negotiations<br />
only as a means to further that deadly goal. That enemy tactic has<br />
worked splendidly for the Arabs, giving them a steady stream of step<br />
by step Israeli surrenders without the Arabs themselves having to make<br />
a single concession to Israel.<br />
<br />
It is not reassuring to contemplate that Israel remains in a perpetual<br />
strategic fog, unable to recognize the deadly aim of its Arab<br />
adversary. Failing to recognize this, Israel continually rejects<br />
decisive action against the enemy since it fears an angry Arab<br />
reaction that will foreclose what is the delusional possibility of a<br />
peace agreement.<br />

Learning from reports that Israeli governments have been in communication with<br />

Arabs and certainly not Israeli leaders who, time and again, are led on the basis<br />
of Arab promises to drop Israel's guard.<br />
<br />
After all, did not old Yassir promise the leftist negotiators and Rabin that he wanted<br />
peace? And what happened? On the basis of Yassir's encouraging words, Israel<br />
brought that terrorist and his whole terrorist Arab army back to Israel, set them<br />
up in control of enclaves and gave them all kinds of Israeli aid, so that they could<br />
strike against Israel, producing intifadas and dead and maimed Israelis galore.<br />

"What is the road to Israel's survival? It is certainly not<br />

attaining peace for Israel. In this, he is continuing a policy that<br />
has moved Israel downhill for decades after the 1967 War -- all for<br />
the sake of the illusion that the Arabs want peace and are willing to<br />
accept an Israel that they think they can destroy. Gross imagines that<br />
these appeasements which have weakened Israel will win Israel friends<br />
when experience shows they do not.<br />

<b>PREEMPTION OR DESTRUCTION <br />
<i>Which Should Israel Choose?</i> <br />
By Bernard J. Shapiro </b> <br />
<b>Freeman Center For Strategic Studies</b><br />
November 15, 2010<br />
<br />
Israel has been swept with Arab violence and terrorism since the late 19th century. Israeli Prime Ministers have tried but failed to stem the tide. Ariel Sharon, well know for his tough tactics in quelling terrorism in Gaza in the 70's, has also failed.<br />
<br />
Back in 1965, in a small meeting room in Tel Aviv, former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan gave a pep talk to a group of RAFI (Rishimat Poalai Israel) volunteers, myself included. At that time, RAFI, a breakaway faction of the Mapai Party, included such notables as former Prime Minister David Ben Gurion and former Defense Minister Shimon Peres. Peres and Dayan had been considered the "hawks" of Mapai and it was no accident that in the 1965 election they supported a strong defense and security policy. <br />
<br />
Dayan was always interesting to listen to, but this talk was something special and we paid attention to every word. "The essence of Israel's security in this region (Middle East) is deterrence," he said. "When we formed the State in 1948-9, we were very weak. The Arab States had planes, tanks, heavy artillery and many more soldiers than us. <br />
<br />
We had very little heavy military equipment. In the period 1949-55, we absorbed almost a million immigrants. Tent cities sprung up all over the country. We were totally disorganized. Had the Arabs mounted another major invasion, we could have lost. We devised a solution to this problem. It was deterrence. Think about being lost in a forest and surrounded by hostile animals. If you light a torch, boldly approach them showing no fear -- they will retreat. But, if you show fear -- they will attack and you are lost. We used this principle to save Israel during those early years. Every time we were attacked, we retaliated ten fold. We showed daring and penetrated deep within their borders to attack our targets. We were fearless, brave, and even a bit bloodthirsty. You know the result. The Arabs were afraid and never attacked. Deterrence worked. By 1956 when we invaded Sinai, the Israel Defense Force was not just strong, it was invincible." <br />

<b>GAZA INVASION ARMADA <br />

<br />
Reports indicate that another sea armada of perhaps more than 10 ships will sail from the Syrian port of Latakia where it has been docked for the last 12 days. The main ship in (what they call) the "Viva Palestina" convoy has 380 activists from 42 countries, 147 vehicles and $5 million in medical aid. Their declared mission is to break Israels arms blockade of Hamas in Gaza. [Latest news: One ship has already docked in Egypt as of Sunday October 17th.] <br />
<br />
These so-called activists are what Vladimir Lenin called useful idiots who were carrying the Communist Manifesto. Todays useful idiots are the Islamic sympathizers who are ready to be used by Hamas and HezbAllah.<br />
To view their "real" purposes, look at their own diary (listed below - footnote #1) of the propaganda parade through 3000 miles by land, and the rallies held at each stop. If you can tolerate the full onslaught of their propaganda, their own diary is quite damning.<br />
<br />
The propaganda campaign that Gaza Muslim Arab Palestinians under Hamas rule have been deprived of food and medicine has been disproved by foreign eye-witnesses, still and video photographs of the Gaza markets full of food, the water parks, the villas and other luxurious living of the "poor Palestinians". The only purpose of Israels legal blockade of Gaza to incoming foreign ships is to deny Hamas the free-flow of major weaponry. However, weapons coming from Syria and Iran continue to be smuggled in through hundreds of tunnels starting in Egypts Sinai Desert.<br />

<b>MUSLIMS ATTACK JEWS; JEWS NOT ALLOWED TO ACT IN SELF-DEFENSE<br />

<br />
The Muslim Arab Palestinians in Jerusalem grow bolder in their attacks on Jewish civilian drivers, men, pregnant women  even children and those who are simply strolling. However, the Police, under the orders of Israels current Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, arrest the first Jewish victim they see at the scene.<br />
<br />
The Arab Muslims accept this encouragement as permission to attack Jews whenever they wish, knowing that Barak, Israels Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Leftist Courts as well as the Leftist Media will side with them.<br />
Perhaps a time will come when the Quislings in the Israeli government will be kicked out and a Peoples Court will be established to try them for their crimes against their own people.<br />
I recall an old saying during the years of the Muslim Ottoman Turks rule who treated the Jews cruelly. The saying of that time goes: Kill a Turk and take a rest. The message, I suppose, was: Dont harm me and I wont harass you.<br />
<br />
But, those evil times are returning as the Arab Muslims take the place of the Turkish Muslims. Regrettably, although the Jews have returned to the Land of their Patriarchs and Matriarchs, many of our own leaders plead for mercy from the very Arab Muslims whom they had to fight and beat in seven wars and continual, ongoing Terrorism.<br />
Granted, not all Jewish leaders sniveled, whined and apologized for living and daring to live and fight back.<br />
<br />
Now, too many of these Jewish leaders play the role models of a beaten people, instead of standing tall as honest victors in a sea of Jew-hating Muslim Arabs. They instruct the Police to harass Jews  especially if they are forced to defend themselves  even against Muslim Arab lynch mobs. <br />
<br />
Israels soldiers have been made fearful of defending themselves with lethal force lest the corrupt and biased Leftist Courts put them on trial for acting in self-defense and defense of their countrymen, women and children who are endangered. <br />

<b>MY PRAYER FOR ISRAEL ROSH HASHONA 5771 </b><br />
<br />
<b>By Bernard J. Shapiro </b><br />
<br />
As I survey the fragile planet we call home, my mind makes note of the chaos, blood, and tears. The cries of a million lost souls shatter the night in a million corners of the earth. The sensitive, compassionate among them try to feed the hungry, heal the sick, clothe the naked. One by one their energies dissipate. They try to hold back the tide with a teaspoon and then see the impossibility of the task. The Jewish people are but a cosmic speck in this universe. To many Jews who feel deeply about their own people, that speck becomes the whole world. Other Jews are irrevocably tied to non-Jewish pursuits. <br />
<br />
May we as a people open our eyes and begin to see the world as it really is. Without becoming depressed and morose, we must realize that there are powerful forces in the world that wish us ill. May we mobilize our strength to fight our enemies until they are defeated. May we not succumb to false prophets of peace. We all want peace. We pray for peace in our Sabbath services every Friday night. <br />
<br />
After thousands of years, being victims of persecution, expulsion, extermination, and discrimination, it is natural that we yearn for peace with every ounce of our bodies and souls. It is because our hunger for peace is so strong that we must be doubly cautious not to fall for a pseudo-peace. <br />
<br />
Today none of us believe Chamberlain really negotiated "peace in our time" with Hitler. Why do some Jews believe that Peres and Rabin really negotiated "peace" with Arafat, one of today's Hitlers? The Jewish people must learn the value of unity in the face of so many enemies who wish them ill. <br />

<b>ISLAM, THE FALSE MASK OF RELIGION<br />

<br />
Religion, when taught and practiced with restraint and decency, is a valuable  ever irreplaceable  guide for humankind.<br />
However, when a specific religion teaches its children to hate and kill, then it cannot be defended as a religion. Then it is a blood/death cult, practicing child abuse on their own children.<br />
<br />
History is replete with confirmed accounts of nations and their particular religion being used as a reason for conquest, looting the victim society, forced conversion of the conquered society and, finally, mass extermination of all those who resist.<br />
Some self-anointed religions are merely pagans who worship idols and gods whom their Priest Cult interprets as the wishes of their panoply of gods. The only limitations on their practices would be the creative imaginations of their Priest Cults. Human sacrifice was common then and, strangely, it last into present time.<br />

<b>The Significance of Allahu Akbar<br />

<br />
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army psychiatrist, while shouting Allahu Akbar (Allah is great) murdered twelve people and wounded twenty-one inside Fort Hood in Texas on Thursday, November 5, 2009. Fox News interviewed a criminal profiler who asserted definitively that this attack had nothing to do with religion. Some people suggested he had post traumatic stress syndrome, apparently they didn't know he had never served in combat. NPR and the Washington Post said his motive remains unclear. <br />
Muslims have a long history of committing atrocities to the cry of Allahu Akbar. When the Muslim Turks took children away from their infidel parents to make them into soldiers for Allah, their mothers and sisters would desperately follow the horsemen who would drive them away with whips with loud cries of Allah.<br />
<br />
When the PLO occupied Lebanon they massacred the Christians there. Bat Ye'or in her book Eurabia wrote about one of the massacres as follows:<br />
An eyewitness gave an account of the massacre of 582 Christians in Damur by the PLO and its Muslim allies on January 22, 1976: "The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad!' And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children."<br />
<br />
When EgyptAir co-pilot Gamil Al Batuti was alone in the cockpit in Oct 31, 1999 of FLIGHT 990 he shut off the autopilot and the engines and put the aircraft into a steep dive, all the while intoning:<br />
Allahu Akbar.<br />
<br />
The Boeing 767 broke up in midair and crashed into the ocean off Nantucket Island, killing all 217 souls aboard (Allah is the Greatest worldnetdaily 7/31/04).<br />

[Freeman Note: We watched and found it tragic, how the media and political figures bent over backward not to mention the Islamic connection. As far back as 1968, with the assasination of Robert Kennedy, I wrote about this as anti-Israel terrorism. No one published my story.]<br />

<b>NIDAL MALIK HASAN MASSACRE AT FORT HOOD - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?<br />

<i><b>Is there any doubt that G-d is fulfilling the promise He made to Avraham: "I will bless those who bless thee and curse those who curse thee." ? </b></i><br />
<br />
Has President Barack Obama brought this promised curse to America as he bonds with radical Islamists and attacks Israel on their behalf? Muslims in America are a dangerous element in our nation, despite the political dance, firstly by President George W. Bush and now by President Barack Hussein Obama to assure us that Muslims and Islam are perfectly safe for Americans.<br />
<br />
Did todays November 5th massacre at Fort Hood, Texas prove that wrong? The shooter was named as Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim psychiatrist who objected to being posted to either war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Reportedly, Hasan killed 11 and wounded 31 with 2 handguns - at a soldiers collection point and processing center for those being organizing to leave for either front or returning stateside and being processed.<br />
For the first several hours it was reported that Hasan had been killed in the shoot-out, but later reports say he was shot multiple times but, HE IS SAID <br />

<b>ASSIMILATION OF AMERICAN JEWS CAN BE CURBED <br />
by Michael Anbar PhD <br />

<br />
For centuries Jews have been subject to bigotry, i.e., misojudaic prejudice, often associated with violence that ranged from arson, molestation and pogroms to the Holocaust. Yet the Jewish nation survived in a grueling Diaspora. But later, once Jews were fully emancipated, many of them assimilated, and the Jewish nation lost many individuals. People born to Jewish parents have denied their heritage, joining subcultures that disregard ethnicity or religion but still hate Jews. This process is ongoing in American Jewry, especially among its younger, most productive members. <br />
<br />
The older generation, including Holocaust survivors, who are the majority of synagogue attendees, is not likely to abandon Judaism. However, their sons and daughters seem to assimilate in droves. Unlike in 19th Century Germany, assimilation of American Jews is not by conversion to Christianity but by joining transnational progressive political movements that despise Jewish nationalism. Giving up the national rights of Jews is not better than giving up the Jewish religion. A substantial number of the Jews who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 are assimilated transnationalists. <br />

<b>REDEEMING THE TEMPLE MOUNT<br />

<br />
Back in 1993, I started inviting people to explain the significance of rebuilding the Temple Mount in Jewish history and its affect on the World. Rabbi Moishe Traxler was very helpful in explaining to me the Lubavitch position regarding the rebuilding of the Temple. They very clearly prohibit any activity on the Temple Mount until the coming of the <i><b>Messiah</b></i>. The Israeli Consul General (Houston) Meir Romem was quick to tell me about the horrible international consequences of attempting to rebuild the Temple.<br />
<br />
Others, including Rabbis of great note, told me the rebuilding of the Temple would require the introduction of animal sacrifices. A friend, a vegetarian and animal rights activist, was horrified by such a prospect. All the myths were refuted. Rambam explained that animal sacrifice is not necessary if the Temple is rebuilt. He talked about a process of <b>REDEMPTION</b>. First regain control of the Temple Mount. <br /><a href="http://www.freeman.org/serendipity/index.php?/archives/434-REDEEMING-THE-TEMPLE-MOUNT.html#extended">Continue reading "REDEEMING THE TEMPLE MOUNT"</a>
